PREMIUM ILLUSIONIST FOR THOSE WHO “HAVE SEEN IT ALL”

Daniil Radaev is an illusionist and mentalist who combines stage mastery with the psychology of perception.
Since 2008 he has performed in Russia and abroad: each act is a dialogue with the audience, where gestures, pauses, and intonation build the logic of choice and create the effect of the “impossible.”
Media highlight his philosophical approach: journalists describe him as an innovator, emphasizing the idea of “magic as an exploration of consciousness.”
In 2015 he received the “Lucky of the Year” title as Best Magician in Moscow at the Lucky Awards; since 2017 he has consulted and created effects for television shows.
On September 17, 2025, the large immersive show “SOCIUM” premiered.
In 2025 Daniil presented the major original show “SOCIUM,” a performance about the nature of choice and the role of the individual in society, where spectators become participants in an experiment.

STAGE PERFORMANCE

Illusion | Mentalism | Comedy
No complex decorations — only precise work with attention: gestures, pauses, and dramaturgy.
Alongside this — improvisation: situational jokes, dialogue with spectators, subtle self-irony, and reactions to what happens in the room.
Mind reading, predictions, and work with familiar patterns merge into a story where every choice seems pre-calculated — and at the same time funny.
The program adapts to the venue and objective: from intimate spaces to large stages.
Daniil’s show is not a “magician for a party,” but a remarkable performance-research where magic stops being a trick and becomes a metaphor for human thinking: equally mysterious, unpredictable, and open to interpretation.

Duration: ~20–30 min
Style: illusion, mentalism, comedy, improvisation
Engagement: fully interactive stage show, dialogue with spectators

CLOSE-UP MAGIC

Performance format where technique merges with psychology and live communication.
Effects happen at arm’s length: guests see every movement — yet still don’t understand how it’s possible.
Instead of decorations — pure interaction: attention is gently guided by pauses, smiles, phrases, and the rhythm of the hands.
An additional layer — digital illusions:
— incredible effects inside guests’ smartphones (gallery, notes, calculator, browser);
— predictions on social media (stories/posts appear “at the right moment”);
— “living” images, AR details.
This format perfectly fits modern audiences: people receive not only the “here and now” emotion but also content they want to rewatch and share.
Close-up works in intimate spaces and at large events as a welcome performance or a “breather” between stage blocks.

Duration: 40 min
Style: close-up magic, cards, hypnosis, suggestion, digital smartphone effects, humor, improvisation
Engagement: creation of small guest groups during performance, personal moments
Where suitable: welcome/cocktail at all types of events, VIP room, breaks between blocks
